Using "Drag and Drop"

AGCat includes a "drag and drop" function that lets you reposition a field within an active record, copy and position a field within an active record, and copy a field from one record to a selected location in another record.

To move a field in an active record:

  1. Position the cursor in the field you wish to copy, in front of the tag number.
  2. Click and hold the left mouse button.
    • The selected field is highlighted by a green box.
  3. Continue holding the left mouse button and drag the cursor to the location to which you wish to move the field.
    • The selected location is indicated by a brown "position bar".
  4. Release the mouse button.
    • The selected field is moved to the selected location.

To copy and move a field in an active record:

  1. Position the cursor in the field you wish to copy, in front of the tag number.
  2. Click and hold the left mouse button.
    • The selected field is highlighted by a green box.
  3. Press and hold the <Ctrl> key on the keyboard.
  4. Continue holding the left mouse button and the <Ctrl> key, and drag the cursor to the location to which you wish to copy the field.
    • The selected location is indicated by a brown "position bar".
  5. Release the mouse button and <Ctrl> key.
    • The selected field is copied to the selected location.

To copy and move a field to a new record:

  3. Click and hold the left mouse button.
    • The selected field is highlighted by a green box.
